And saving them from wasting their valuable time on an application for a
job they would not accept anyway. If the maximum a company is willing to
pay is £16K I would argue that it is dishonest to invite applications
from those who would not accept a job at that salary.

By posting the salary up front, whether as a single figure or a range,
the potential employer enables applicants to make an informed decision
as to whether to spend time and effort applying for the position.
